Want to make a real difference on climate change?
We’ve long been told that saving the planet means buying local, switching to LED bulbs, using less plastic and cycling more. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: no matter how much we cut down our individual carbon footprints, it won’t be enough to stop global warming.
It’s time to move past feelings of guilt, powerlessness and frustration. Instead of tweaking our lifestyle, we need to pull the levers that drive real change on a systemic level.
Enter the climate handprint – a bold, positive approach that helps you cut far more CO₂ than you personally produce. Whether at home, at work, or in your community, you can use your resources, skills, time, money and influence to create impactful change.
- Introduce plant-based meals at your workplace canteen – saving dozens of tonnes of CO₂ per year.
- Get your company to install solar panels – saving hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ per year.
- Push your local energy supplier to switch to renewables – saving thousands of tonnes of CO₂ per year.
By shifting from carbon footprint frustration to climate handprint power, you’ll start making impactful changes and feeling better about your contribution to curbing the climate crisis.
Gabriel Baunach reveals how to move beyond small personal changes and start making a genuine impact – with strategies that are effective, empowering, and full of hope.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
